Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of making it mandatory for all new cars sold to be fitted with an electronic tracking device.
The Government is tackling vehicle crime as a priority. We continue to work closely with police and motor manufacturers through the National Vehicle Crime Working Group, established by the National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for vehicle crime and overseen by the Government’s Crime and Justice Taskforce. This includes consideration of how we can reduce the number of vehicles being stolen.
